The majority of turbine designs feature a gearbox, although some manufacturers produce 'direct drive designs', which do not require one. The gearbox employs a planetary gear system to convert the low-speed high-torque rotation of the rotor into high-speed rotation at low torque for input to the generator. The gearbox drives a high speed shaft leading to the generator, typically at 1,5.
